2021 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS Sports Touring Motorcycle – Features and Specs

Unique Key Features

• Ninjas-inspired chassis and engine
• Warm grip
• Kawasaki Advanced Co-Active-Braking Technology (K-ACT)
• Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)

KTRC

KTRC reassures riders by helping smooth riding on smooth surfaces and is an example of the unique Kawasaki technology that facilitates ride control. Front and rear wheel speed sensors are used to monitor wheel speed. When the rear wheel rotation is detected (when the rate of the rear wheel exceeds the speed of the front wheel), the engine’s output is reduced so that the grip of the rear wheel is restored.

To ensure smooth operation, the system uses 3-way control, which regulates ignition timing, fuel delivery, and airflow (via sub-throttle). KTRC assists riders on short and long sections of dangerous roads (such as train tracks or maintenance hole covers) (such as dirt, gravel, cobblestone, and grass).

Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-Braking Technology (K-ACT)(KP)

K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS is an integrated braking system that enables the best brake force distribution for safe and efficient braking.

When the rear brakes are used, the K-ACT ABS settings help reduce the feeling attached to the front brakes for a more natural feel during low-speed movement.

No matter how tightly the front and rear brakes are applied, the electronic system adjusts brake force distribution between the front and rear brakes to improve overall braking performance.

There are two modes to choose from in K-ACT. When riding on winding roads, Mode 1 reduces the braking effect attached to the initial braking pedal stroke to feel more natural braking.

Fuel Economy: Assistance Mode

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode is a selectable mode that converts the ECU into a lean fuel map with a high priority on fuel economy.

The Economical Riding Indicator (KP) is an indicator on the LCD screen that indicates good fuel efficiency.

Heat-Dissipating Bodywork

Large apertures in the firing were designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to allow hot air to escape faster. The warm air is directed away from the rider’s legs by the firing sides.

When the rider is stopped, the protection of the exhaust pipe near the right foot peg helps to protect the rider from the heat.

1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine With Variable Valve Timing (VVT) (KP)

The VVT improves low-end and mid-range torque, making it easier to accelerate at any engine rpm while reducing emissions. Unique cam profiles enhance the VVT system. The engine is compact and slim thanks to careful planning.

For maximum durability at high power outputs, the chrome composite plated (KP) aluminum cylinder bore is lightweight, durable, and quickly removes heat from the combustion chamber and piston.

Digital Fuel Injection (KP)

40 mm throttle bodies are used for better riding ability and more linear low and medium-range throttle response. Throttle response is best at all engine speeds because smaller diameter bodies increase the intake speed.

Dual throttle valves (KP) are installed in the throttle bodies and are controlled via ECU to ensure accurate response and smooth DFI performance. To improve throttle response and control, a 32-bit electronic control unit including a twin throttle valve system is used.

6-Speed Transmission

Short first-gear ratios take advantage of solid torque to make it easier to start from the stop and improve handling in low-speed first-gear situations. Sixth gear is an over-drive that reduces rpm on highway speeds for more comfortable riding and fuel economy.

The rear wheel hop is lowered at high RPM and paired with a “slipper” clutch (KP) that limits backtrack for smooth corner entry.
